Employees say:
"When I had a medical emergency, all of my colleagues (office-wide and firm-wide) were supportive through action. I was given an enormous amount of flexibility to manage my health situation while remaining with my full salary and benefits and given so much back-up support to manage my clients and projects. My firm is truly like a professional family... we care for each other and support each other."
Employees say: "When I came to the company, I was assigned a mentor who was helpful and welcoming. She told me people would continue to be friendly and that it wasn't just for show to a new employee. I have been so impressed with how true this has been. I have never worked for such a welcoming place. I feel like my ideas are heard, and I just want to do better and offer more."
Employees say:
"The people here are exceptional; they genuinely care about one another, which makes this a great place to work. The firm also works hard to give people opportunities to learn and grow. Very few law firms offer the depth of training and resources that this firm provides to its people. All individuals, regardless of their level, are given amazing opportunities to learn and grow. Our resources are vast, and the benefits are great."
Employees say:
"The is a tradition of thoroughly and transparently discussing issues inclusively within the organization among affected stakeholders until a fair consensus is reached. It may take a little longer, but it leads to a well thought out result and with broader support and buy-in from throughout the organization."
